kids with divorced parents with traumatic separations relate deeply to this song. I can’t ever listen to this and not cry, and at the same time it makes me so grateful for everything me and my family have ever been through and today everyone just loves and respects each other so much. It just makes me even more thankful for having such an awesome dad, through it all.
it can’t relate to anyone I don’t have divorce parents but my dad brings everything to the table and my mom does to but something about her it’s a weird vibe I feel it she’s very toxic and I feel so bad for my dad I can’t believe it
This song always helps me my dad was always drunk never loved me or my little brother my mum always cared for us never had enough money cuz of his stupid ass who always was drunk never got me or my brother new toys or clothes my mum didn't have job my dad didn't even want too work then finally this summer he found a bitch witch has lot of money and now we don't even talk but still makes me sad and makes me wanna be SUCCESSFUL and not be alcoholic hate him soo much
u ever listen to a song and suddenly feel like being choked? and your eyes start to get watery though you dont relate to the song at all? that explains how great the artist delivers the message. damn
the first time i listened to this i balled my eyes out. i was 9 when my mom left. i heard this before i had a falling out with my dad 3 years later. i guess i’m now just a kid who lost both his parents. (my dad is still around... he just isn’t the same anymore)
Everytime when i listen to this song i use to cry, i'm a unknown child i don't know about my true parents, i was raised by a unknown family! They treat me well.... But sometimes i really needed to see my own mom's dad's face once for one last time 😢 this song last forever ❤
" stiffen up that upper lip! What you crying for? You got me " That was it. That was the part that made me feel like I actually had a father for once in my life. This whole song makes me feel so much better. This song is basically a father figure to me. I'm really glad Eminem made this song, feels like I finally have the father I needed when I was younger The fact that this song came out when the problems with my father started getting worse and my parents were arguing a lot more often. It's kinda like this song was made for me, to help me with my problems
@@davidharris6397 First off: sorry for the late reply Second of all: I'm sorry that happened, your kid should be your first priority, your father shouldn't have done that. And happy late birthday!
As someone who lost my mom and dad, this song reminds me of many difficulties someone can face and realize how mom and dad were able to raise me and to be a programmer as I've always wanted to be. They are not here now but I just want to tell them that I really miss them and If I happen to live for decades I will never repay them no matter what.
This song makes me tear up (in an emotional way), it truly shows another completely different side to Eminem and how much he loves his kids and what he had to go through.
My dad used to play this song for us when my parents were going through their divorce. We lost my dad 2 years ago and this song has a new meaning to it now but it still reminds me of the love my dad had for me & that strong is still my only option.
Time is flow like water. We can't hold it any way 😢 but a father can do anything for us. When that man left us Our world is going to be crazy (I'm not good in English) but you will understand what I mean 😅
“I’m just sorry you where there and had to witness it-“ That line always was very sad for me. When I was younger I witnessed a lot and that part of the song was just depressing and hit me dear to close to home.
My dad's funeral was today and I had this song played at his service.. he introduced me to Eminem's music at a young age, and his music was one of the many things we bonded over. My dad loved his daughters just like Eminem loved his.. I will forever love this song and it will forever feel like my dad is speaking to me through the lyrics of the songs.. Rest In paradise, dad I love and miss you so much💔
Eminem is like a comfort person for me because I’ve been having father problems and family problems but Eminem has been there for me like most of the time.
“We did not plan it to be this way, your mother and me” that hits hard, my parents (never married) have been separated since I was a baby and always tell me this
As someone who's had a pretty rough child hood this song hit home I'm used to Eminem songs being fast beat and upbeat. But this. This surprised me and i love it. Love ya Eminem
My Dad listened to Eminem before and after I was born. He still does today, but when I was about six or seven my parents split up. My Mum found out he was " Cheating " With my babysitter when it was really all a lie. But every night after my Dad left I used to listen to this song. I cried to it every night because I just wanted my Dad back. My parents have gotten back together and everything is fine now but every night I listen to this song. Eminem has become my coping mechanism and I hope I one day get to meet him.
His story was the rawest because he was so open to tell the world his struggle .. I will always love Eminem his pain was felt !! He said 8 mile was literally everything he had to deal with 😞 but he is an amazing dad till this day
My sister used to play this song for me as a child and tell me it was “her song to me” rlly hits when ur all grown up fr Some lines in this song really hit hard as my dad was present but never around and my mother was neglectful and eventually lost me completely due to her addiction. It’s just wild looking back at this song and actually seeing how real it was to the actual situation and how mature my sister had to be at such a young age to have to be there for me. There’s real pain in this song and tons of people can feel it, to anyone else dealing with your own or someone else’s addiction you’re not alone.
This reminds me a lot of my childhood. My mom always tried to keep me away from my dad cause my dad was married to a drug addict after my mom left him. It gets even more complicated than that. I have psychosis and as I child I never knew what it was, so my mom made me feel like I had to hide from everyone. My mom even made up a song for me to sing to myself at school cause I'd act out a lot I was violent for no reason sometimes. My mom said to stay away from the other kids, and when other kids were touching me inappropriatly my mom did nothing when I told her she said it was normal and told me to not do anything. I grew up with no friends, I developed Major depressive disorder from the time I was only 8 and wished to die. My dad did the best he could well my dad worked at AK steal when I was young and there was a huge explosion and I was crying for my dad thinking he was gonna die it was my aunt me and my mom in the car. And when we got there my dad showed up to the end of the fence that separates the building from the other side of the highway. My aunt and my mom thought I was sleeping cause I got quiet after a bit. And as my aunt was getting out to grab child support my aunt said "all we care about is the money" I heard it. I look outside and I could hear my dad asking if he could say hi to me and my aunt said no, you can't and she's asleep. I waved to him and he waved back my aunt just ignored it and he handed the money over and we drove off. But even though my childhood was rough I have a good relationship with my dad and me and my mom are now good even though there are things I will never forget what she has done. There is a lot more I could say.. but it's a long story.. Edit: I wanted to thank everyone for the kind words, I did not expect to get this much attention. I hope you all have a good day, and bless you all. I am in a much better place now, I currently live with my dad and my boyfriend. My BF and I of 3 years are planning to move out soon to get our own place. My mom and dad get along now, they are happy and with their significant others. My dad has a back injury so he is unable to work he is recovering and I am helping him any way I can. Again thank you all so much for the support!
My dad was a drunk. My mom was a manipulator and an abuser. Im 30 now with two kids of my own. My dad used to play this song for me as a kid and tried to say it was us and that he loved us. But that wasnt true. Now as a mother myself i listen to this song and promise myself my kids will never have to listen to songs like this and feel that empty ache in their chest because they can relate to the struggle. If i am not a good mother to them, if i fail them in anyway close to the way my parents did that will be my biggest regret and mistake. They are my entire life. I WILL give them everything that i didnt have. End of story. No excuses.
It's only the gen z kids who want to cancel him because they have been brainwashed into thinking that free speech is bad. They don't realize that cancel culture and the death of free speech will only usher in the birth of oppression and tyranny.
This made me burst out in tears when I first heard it..My mom always sang this to me and it made me so happy, but now, she's gone..she passed away in 2018, and I still can't get over it..
im so sorry that happened to you.. and dont worry i bet ur mom is looking at you from above, always proud that their baby has grown to be such a strong, sweet, beautiful human being i love you
@6TheReaper omgg wow i wish u all the best of luck and ill try my best to be there on time, if not i'll surely not forget about it thank you for the info!
I don't have a history of parental divorce or anything similar, but this song still manages to get to my chest because of what I've been through these last 18 months. My mother fell ill with cancer and this Sunday she passed away, but in the 18 months that we have lived, my father has been the one who has given me comfort through the process. My mom was a great mom and it's not her fault she got sick, and my dad was always there for me. I guess that's what the songs are for: everyone interprets them and feels them in different ways.
Man this is such a touching song. Never thought Eminem songs can also touch this part of emotions. I also have two lil kids. Hope I can give them the best.
this the only song that ever made me cry and thats cause even all the horrible things my mom did to me i realize she was trying her best and giving me all he could
Thank you Eminem, for doing everything you did. My tears are coming out of my eyes. You saved me from trying to kill myself. You pulled me out of depression. You did that for everybody, not just me. You helped us all. Be happy my friend. And just move forward
This song reminds me of the relationship that I USED to have with my father. My connection with him used to be so strong, then we just fell apart. It hurt so much, and it still does, everytime I hear this song it makes me cry, but it also makes me happy to remember the good times.
Behind the lyrics you can hear the pain in his voice he is a amazing dad he try’s and that’s what makes a good dad a bad dad is a dad who doesn’t try ❤️
@@rayfnc277 ... Of course. Everyone knows that. Sometimes tho when you grow up with no father and no father figures it can be something you know logically, but not because it seems natural and normal to you.
Everytime i feel sad, or just burts out crying. I listen to eminems songs, it just makes my lungs get tied in a knot, making it hard to sing the song and makes the tears in my eyes burst. Eminem is such a good singer and i love him for that
Hard to believe this rap classic has just turned 20. This is proof that great songs with a great message never get old. Kudos to Em and his family. His eldest daughter is married and so is his middle daughter Hailie Jade. HJ is about to have his grandchild in the next few months. Way to go, Em! Over 1.4 billion YT views.
im happy eminem because it reminds me of the stuff my parents used to tell me when i was younger because i was adopted i didnt get to see my parents or my sibilings and this song fills me with joy and memories
I love this song, it makes me wanna cry. I used to be daddy's princess but my parents were always fighting. Living in the hood and we were broke. My daddy left us and my ma tried keeping me and my lil bro from him. Momma didn't have a good job and she wasn't around much either. I grew up raising another kid. This song just hits so hard.
I just listened to this and I’m in tears. Me and my father didn’t speak for a whole year because he never apologized to me for… things that he did. That hurt like crazy, looking at his messages with disgust and feeling angry at someone so important in my life. Just a month ago he said sorry and we’re talking a bit more… this song feels so much like something he would say to me
I can relate to this song so much, my dad being an immigrant from Mexico and growing up poor, when my mom had me and my brother, all he wanted was to give us the world and give us a good childhood, a childhood he couldn’t have because he started working at 7 years old to survive
This song was so beautiful and it is currently one of my favourites. Most of the songs I know are really repetitive but this one was so good and I love it. Even the little "Hehehe" at the end was nice
Your masterful story telling is the main reason why I continue to push myself further into my minds fragments to find the storyteller I know is in my soul searching to find his voice! Thank you Mr M•M. I love you!
Being a dad of two and going through shit with my baby momma is hard. Hearing these songs makes me understand more of what I'm going through more than ever 😥
My dad will cuss at me tell me how could I be his daughter and that I am ugly calling me a stranger being mean to me all the time even when I make a mistake and he doesn't even care
Songs do not make me cry. They do however, make me think about my life and how bad it could have been. We all need to appreciate the little things. He is a great dad. I hear all the pain that is in his voice.
@@reneilwemakhasana5487 I am just trying to help with a point that I have heard before but it might not be true... Sometimes parents will say things like "YOU ARE A DISAPOINTMENT" or "How are you even my child" but some do it but they are actually proud of you! They want to make sure you do your best and they think it is the best way to do it. I hope this helps. Again it may not be true for your family but it still exists.
I’m 9 years old and i know eminem because i have lots of inappropriate swearing teenagers that talk about gangsters and i play a game about it , i know drugs, weed. I WOULD NEVER DO THOSE STUFF! and i’m 9 and i know thease are NOT WORDS.
This song has always reminded me of my step father and my moms best friend because they both stepped up to be the father figure I needed in my life and they’ve helped me a lot with my mom not being around
My dads my best friend and I’m so lucky to have him! When I was little didn’t even realize what he did to make me happy and he still puts everything out his way to get me what I need and want. Love you dad💞
Lyrics : Yeah I know sometimes things may not always make sense to you right now But hey, what daddy always tell you? Straighten up little soldier Stiffen up that upper lip What you crying about? You got me Hailie, I know you miss your mom, and I know you miss your dad When I'm gone, but I'm trying to give you the life that I never had I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you want to cry 'Cause you're scared, I ain't there, daddy's with you in your prayers No more crying, wipe them tears, daddy's here, no more nightmares We gon' pull together through it, we gon' do it Laney uncle's crazy, ain't he? Yeah, but he loves you girl and you better know it We're all we got in this world, when it spins, when it swirls When it whirls, when it twirls, two little beautiful girls Lookin' puzzled, in a daze, I know it's confusing you Daddy's always on the move, mamma's always on the news I try to keep you sheltered from it, but somehow it seems The harder that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me All the things growing up, his daddy, daddy had to see Daddy don't want you to see, but you see just as much as he did We did not plan it to be this way, your mother and me But things have gotten so bad between us, I don't see us ever being together Ever again like we used to be when we was teenagers But then of course everything always happens for a reason I guess it was never meant to be But it's just something we have no control, over and that's what destiny is But no more worries, rest your head and go to sleep Maybe one day we'll wake up, and this will all just be a dream Now hush little baby, don't you cry Everything's gonna be alright Stiffen that upper-lip up, little lady, I told ya Daddy's here to hold ya through the night I know mommy's not here right now, and we don't know why We fear how we feel inside It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby But I promise momma's gon' be alright Huh, it's funny I remember back one year when daddy had no money Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents up and stuck 'em under the tree And said, "Some of 'em were from me, 'cause Daddy couldn't buy 'em" I'll never forget that Christmas, I sat up the whole night crying 'Cause daddy felt like a bum See daddy had a job But his job was to keep the food on the table for you and mom And at the time every house that we lived in Either kept getting broke into and robbed Or shot up on the block And your Mom was saving money for you in a jar Tryna start a piggy bank for you, so you could go to college Almost had a thousand dollars 'til someone broke in and stole it And I know it hurt so bad, it broke your momma's heart And it seemed like everything was just startin' to fall apart Mom and dad was arguin' a lot, so momma moved back On the Chalmers in the flat one-bedroom apartment And dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara And that's when daddy went to California with his C.D And met Dr. Dre, and flew you and momma out to see me But daddy had to work, you and momma had to leave me Then you started seeing daddy on the T.V And momma didn't like it, and you and Laney were to young to understand it Papa was a rollin' stone, momma developed a habit And it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab it I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand 'Cause all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud Now I'm sittin' in this empty house Just reminiscing, lookin' at your baby pictures It just trips me out To see how much you both have grown It's almost like you're sisters now Wow, guess you pretty much are, and daddy's still here Laney, I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still here I like the sound of that, yeah, It's got a ring to it, don't it? Shh, momma's only gone for the moment Now hush little baby, don't you cry Everything's gonna be alright Stiffen that upper-lip up, little lady, I told ya Daddy's here to hold ya through the night I know mommy's not here right now, and we don't know why We fear how we feel inside It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby But I promise, momma's gon' be alright And if you ask me too Daddy's gonna buy you a Mockingbird I'ma give you the world I'ma buy a diamond ring for you, I'ma sing for you I'll do anything for you to see you smile And if that Mockingbird don't sing, and that ring don't shine I'ma break that birdies neck I'd go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya And make him eat every karat, don't fuck with dad (haha)
This song used to make me really mad because it was all I ever wanted as a kid but now I listen to it and it just makes me happy because I realize that there are good people out there my dad was present in my life but he was never really there and I remember every single night I would listen to this song and now every time I hear it tears come to my eyes
Emeinem is a real raper he tells us about his life you can feel the pain in his voice and then he raps about the robbing and sadness i know somone else out there feels his pain and knows what he's going through and what has happened 💔
kids with divorced parents with traumatic separations relate deeply to this song. I can’t ever listen to this and not cry, and at the same time it makes me so grateful for everything me and my family have ever been through and today everyone just loves and respects each other so much. It just makes me even more thankful for having such an awesome dad, through it all.
Yeah, I am grateful to my family, feel sad about those who don’t have a family

it can’t relate to anyone I don’t have divorce parents but my dad brings everything to the table and my mom does to but something about her it’s a weird vibe I feel it she’s very toxic and I feel so bad for my dad I can’t believe it

I swear you can hear the pain in his voice and thats he about to cry. Eminem is a great father and will always be in his daughter's lifes.

There’s real pain in this song and tons of people can feel it, to anyone else dealing with your own or someone else’s addiction you’re not alone.
This is an apology song to his daughters and it's just so sweet
When I’m gone was the same way
Eminem's soul contains so much resilience, he went through so much!
This reminds me a lot of my childhood. My mom always tried to keep me away from my dad cause my dad was married to a drug addict after my mom left him. It gets even more complicated than that. I have psychosis and as I child I never knew what it was, so my mom made me feel like I had to hide from everyone. My mom even made up a song for me to sing to myself at school cause I'd act out a lot I was violent for no reason sometimes. My mom said to stay away from the other kids, and when other kids were touching me inappropriatly my mom did nothing when I told her she said it was normal and told me to not do anything. I grew up with no friends, I developed Major depressive disorder from the time I was only 8 and wished to die. My dad did the best he could well my dad worked at AK steal when I was young and there was a huge explosion and I was crying for my dad thinking he was gonna die it was my aunt me and my mom in the car. And when we got there my dad showed up to the end of the fence that separates the building from the other side of the highway. My aunt and my mom thought I was sleeping cause I got quiet after a bit. And as my aunt was getting out to grab child support my aunt said "all we care about is the money" I heard it. I look outside and I could hear my dad asking if he could say hi to me and my aunt said no, you can't and she's asleep. I waved to him and he waved back my aunt just ignored it and he handed the money over and we drove off. But even though my childhood was rough I have a good relationship with my dad and me and my mom are now good even though there are things I will never forget what she has done. There is a lot more I could say.. but it's a long story..
Edit: I wanted to thank everyone for the kind words, I did not expect to get this much attention. I hope you all have a good day, and bless you all. I am in a much better place now, I currently live with my dad and my boyfriend. My BF and I of 3 years are planning to move out soon to get our own place. My mom and dad get along now, they are happy and with their significant others. My dad has a back injury so he is unable to work he is recovering and I am helping him any way I can. Again thank you all so much for the support!
That's rough hope your better. :D
hope very things are better now
Oof
Straighten little soldier...
Stiffen up❤
Thank you for sharing your story and I'm glad you're in a better place. You didn't deserve any of that shit.
My dad was a drunk. My mom was a manipulator and an abuser. Im 30 now with two kids of my own. My dad used to play this song for me as a kid and tried to say it was us and that he loved us. But that wasnt true. Now as a mother myself i listen to this song and promise myself my kids will never have to listen to songs like this and feel that empty ache in their chest because they can relate to the struggle. If i am not a good mother to them, if i fail them in anyway close to the way my parents did that will be my biggest regret and mistake. They are my entire life. I WILL give them everything that i didnt have. End of story. No excuses.
Hope your kids will be great peoples 🙏
A round of applause for you
You're a great mom!❤
awe thank you all. i do try my best to be a good mom. No ones perfect but it is still really nice to hear when people say the things you all have.
Oh you WILL regret something you did as a parent. Sometimes, after some time, you will recognize your mistakes... Trust me.
i cried listening to this bc my dad sang this before he died
I feel so sorry for u don't worry he is and will forever be with you

Can't believe people are cancelling this loving father.
Ikr
@@Britthunderr who cancelled him? Every one love him!
@@jakonjhn gen z
It's only the gen z kids who want to cancel him because they have been brainwashed into thinking that free speech is bad.
They don't realize that cancel culture and the death of free speech will only usher in the birth of oppression and tyranny.
well , he is tried to be cancelled , deep inside we all know he cant be ever cancelled
Lyrics coming straight from the heart more than the dome. The way Eminem can rap a story is one of his best attributes, very thankful for his music
Anyone in 2024
yeah 👍
Meeee
Yeah im here dude
Me
Yessir
This made me burst out in tears when I first heard it..My mom always sang this to me and it made me so happy, but now, she's gone..she passed away in 2018, and I still can't get over it..
Sorry I saw pissed away in 2018 , sorry , hope u get over it soon :)
im so sorry that happened to you..
and dont worry i bet ur mom is looking at you from above, always proud that their baby has grown to be such a strong, sweet, beautiful human being
i love you
@6TheReaper omgg wow i wish u all the best of luck and ill try my best to be there on time, if not i'll surely not forget about it thank you for the info!
@6TheReaper I subscribed
I apologize. :/.
If this dosen't make you cry, I don't know what can
This song doesn't make me cry but I know stuff that does
I cry everytime
It makes me sad but I don’t cry
where do you put up bruh ?
@EXODST 😂😂😂😂
What a masterpiece!!!! Has me in tears every time!
I don't have a history of parental divorce or anything similar, but this song still manages to get to my chest because of what I've been through these last 18 months. My mother fell ill with cancer and this Sunday she passed away, but in the 18 months that we have lived, my father has been the one who has given me comfort through the process. My mom was a great mom and it's not her fault she got sick, and my dad was always there for me. I guess that's what the songs are for: everyone interprets them and feels them in different ways.
May her soul rest in peace ❤
@@donikamustafi3837 I appreciate it a lot, thank you ‹3
Man this is such a touching song. Never thought Eminem songs can also touch this part of emotions. I also have two lil kids. Hope I can give them the best.
this the only song that ever made me cry and thats cause even all the horrible things my mom did to me i realize she was trying her best and giving me all he could
Thank you Eminem, for doing everything you did. My tears are coming out of my eyes. You saved me from trying to kill myself. You pulled me out of depression. You did that for everybody, not just me. You helped us all. Be happy my friend. And just move forward
Eminem know our feelings 😢 ❤
I can literally feel emotion in his voice
:/
I can hear a pain in his voice that he is about to cry
He is such a great dad to have😢
😢based on true story😢
Thank u for all these likes
Yeah... you can hear it. He is an amazing dad and singer
This is not a songs it’s a whole story, and every line is just scratching my heart ♥️
this is sad and it reminds me of my childhood😕
This song reminds me of the relationship that I USED to have with my father. My connection with him used to be so strong, then we just fell apart. It hurt so much, and it still does, everytime I hear this song it makes me cry, but it also makes me happy to remember the good times.
Behind the lyrics you can hear the pain in his voice he is a amazing dad he try’s and that’s what makes a good dad a bad dad is a dad who doesn’t try ❤️
3:39 best part
Nahhh
for me its 1:27
Whole song is good dude
2024:oh good song
2050:oh good song
3020:oh good song
It's the song that reminds me fathers can love their children.
What of course they can
@@rayfnc277 ... Of course. Everyone knows that. Sometimes tho when you grow up with no father and no father figures it can be something you know logically, but not because it seems natural and normal to you.
@@iiiena I know how hard it is, stay strong bro.
Everytime i feel sad, or just burts out crying. I listen to eminems songs, it just makes my lungs get tied in a knot, making it hard to sing the song and makes the tears in my eyes burst. Eminem is such a good singer and i love him for that
Mockingbird and Cleaning out my closet are the unique songs that shows real eminem
True
Don't forget "My Mom"
😭😭😭
Whem im gone, beautiful, headlight and more
and rap god
I almost cried so good. Brings back core memories.
No matter how old this song is it gives me chills everytime kinda makes me wanna cry as a 23 year old man
bien dit
I swear i almost cried the amount I relate to this hurts, thanks Eminem for this song, he's an amazing dad,
how can I find out this song only this year?? this song is a masterpiece
aku memang ekot ko jak tok. hahahahaha
Ikr I found it a long time ago and still love it
Welcome
Hard to believe this rap classic has just turned 20. This is proof that great songs with a great message never get old. Kudos to Em and his family. His eldest daughter is married and so is his middle daughter Hailie Jade. HJ is about to have his grandchild in the next few months. Way to go, Em! Over 1.4 billion YT views.
im happy eminem because it reminds me of the stuff my parents used to tell me when i was younger because i was adopted i didnt get to see my parents or my sibilings and this song fills me with joy and memories
I love this song, it makes me wanna cry. I used to be daddy's princess but my parents were always fighting. Living in the hood and we were broke. My daddy left us and my ma tried keeping me and my lil bro from him. Momma didn't have a good job and she wasn't around much either. I grew up raising another kid. This song just hits so hard.
I just listened to this and I’m in tears.
Me and my father didn’t speak for a whole year because he never apologized to me for… things that he did. That hurt like crazy, looking at his messages with disgust and feeling angry at someone so important in my life. Just a month ago he said sorry and we’re talking a bit more… this song feels so much like something he would say to me
Legendary masterpiece ❤ love you eminem ❤
This song means so much to me and my brother. My dad used to sing this to me and him when we were 3.❤
😭😭😭😭❤️
:/
I can relate to this song so much, my dad being an immigrant from Mexico and growing up poor, when my mom had me and my brother, all he wanted was to give us the world and give us a good childhood, a childhood he couldn’t have because he started working at 7 years old to survive
Old song and still good
I agree
I thought i was the only who love this song the most
Agree
This song never ever get old.
Because old is gold
this is the sadest and best song i ever heard...for real
2009: i know this song
2022: i understand this song
I am 12yrs idk what the song Says but I feel bad
Damn your an og if you were here in 2009
@@anubro3171 You are not 12 years old
I was here in 2007 and still know this song
@Thaddeus Arnall dang that's sad but this song is very VERY good!
This song was so beautiful and it is currently one of my favourites. Most of the songs I know are really repetitive but this one was so good and I love it. Even the little "Hehehe" at the end was nice
THIS SONG DESERVES EVERYTHING!
😉🥰
Your masterful story telling is the main reason why I continue to push myself further into my minds fragments to find the storyteller I know is in my soul searching to find his voice! Thank you Mr M•M. I love you!
It’s such a painful song but it is also such a good song to the point you just choke on your words and start crying because it’s so beautiful.
Hes such an amazing father.He tries so hard to be there for his daughter even if he can't always.
Being a dad of two and going through shit with my baby momma is hard. Hearing these songs makes me understand more of what I'm going through more than ever 😥
This is the best song a father can give to his daughter you can feel the pain in his voice
a song has never made me cry more than this one has. I wish my dad had this level of regret for breaking my heart as his daughter.
My dad will cuss at me tell me how could I be his daughter and that I am ugly calling me a stranger being mean to me all the time even when I make a mistake and he doesn't even care
Songs do not make me cry. They do however, make me think about my life and how bad it could have been. We all need to appreciate the little things. He is a great dad. I hear all the pain that is in his voice.
@@reneilwemakhasana5487 I am just trying to help with a point that I have heard before but it might not be true... Sometimes parents will say things like "YOU ARE A DISAPOINTMENT" or "How are you even my child" but some do it but they are actually proud of you! They want to make sure you do your best and they think it is the best way to do it. I hope this helps. Again it may not be true for your family but it still exists.
I sang this at like 8 years old thinking they were just words
Now I'm here...I and these are NOT words
But they are words
It's fucking art
When your happy you enjoy the melody
When your sad you know the lyrics
Same
I’m 9 years old and i know eminem because i have lots of inappropriate swearing teenagers that talk about gangsters and i play a game about it , i know drugs, weed. I WOULD NEVER DO THOSE STUFF! and i’m 9 and i know thease are NOT WORDS.
This song has always reminded me of my step father and my moms best friend because they both stepped up to be the father figure I needed in my life and they’ve helped me a lot with my mom not being around
This is work of art is my therapy everyday
12 years ago? We are getting old my friends.. I will never get tired of listening to eminems songs.
More than 12 actually
19 years old
R u uzbek?what is ur job
This song always amazes me because Eminem’s voice in this sounds like my dads.. my dad passed away when I was 9, I’m 14 now. Time flys
damn im sorry for ur loss.. i lost my dad a year ago to cancer. i wish the best for u man. ur rlly strong.
My dads my best friend and I’m so lucky to have him! When I was little didn’t even realize what he did to make me happy and he still puts everything out his way to get me what I need and want. Love you dad💞
This song brings tears to my eyes, the meaning is so deep :(
Lyrics :
Yeah
I know sometimes things may not always make sense to you right now
But hey, what daddy always tell you?
Straighten up little soldier
Stiffen up that upper lip
What you crying about?
You got me
Hailie, I know you miss your mom, and I know you miss your dad
When I'm gone, but I'm trying to give you the life that I never had
I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh
I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you want to cry
'Cause you're scared, I ain't there, daddy's with you in your prayers
No more crying, wipe them tears, daddy's here, no more nightmares
We gon' pull together through it, we gon' do it
Laney uncle's crazy, ain't he? Yeah, but he loves you girl and you better know it
We're all we got in this world, when it spins, when it swirls
When it whirls, when it twirls, two little beautiful girls
Lookin' puzzled, in a daze, I know it's confusing you
Daddy's always on the move, mamma's always on the news
I try to keep you sheltered from it, but somehow it seems
The harder that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me
All the things growing up, his daddy, daddy had to see
Daddy don't want you to see, but you see just as much as he did
We did not plan it to be this way, your mother and me
But things have gotten so bad between us, I don't see us ever being together
Ever again like we used to be when we was teenagers
But then of course everything always happens for a reason
I guess it was never meant to be
But it's just something we have no control, over and that's what destiny is
But no more worries, rest your head and go to sleep
Maybe one day we'll wake up, and this will all just be a dream
Now hush little baby, don't you cry
Everything's gonna be alright
Stiffen that upper-lip up, little lady, I told ya
Daddy's here to hold ya through the night
I know mommy's not here right now, and we don't know why
We fear how we feel inside
It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
But I promise momma's gon' be alright
Huh, it's funny
I remember back one year when daddy had no money
Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents up and stuck 'em under the tree
And said, "Some of 'em were from me, 'cause Daddy couldn't buy 'em"
I'll never forget that Christmas, I sat up the whole night crying
'Cause daddy felt like a bum
See daddy had a job
But his job was to keep the food on the table for you and mom
And at the time every house that we lived in
Either kept getting broke into and robbed
Or shot up on the block
And your Mom was saving money for you in a jar
Tryna start a piggy bank for you, so you could go to college
Almost had a thousand dollars 'til someone broke in and stole it
And I know it hurt so bad, it broke your momma's heart
And it seemed like everything was just startin' to fall apart
Mom and dad was arguin' a lot, so momma moved back
On the Chalmers in the flat one-bedroom apartment
And dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara
And that's when daddy went to California with his C.D
And met Dr. Dre, and flew you and momma out to see me
But daddy had to work, you and momma had to leave me
Then you started seeing daddy on the T.V
And momma didn't like it, and you and Laney were to young to understand it
Papa was a rollin' stone, momma developed a habit
And it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab it
I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand
'Cause all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud
Now I'm sittin' in this empty house
Just reminiscing, lookin' at your baby pictures
It just trips me out
To see how much you both have grown
It's almost like you're sisters now
Wow, guess you pretty much are, and daddy's still here
Laney, I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still here
I like the sound of that, yeah, It's got a ring to it, don't it?
Shh, momma's only gone for the moment
Now hush little baby, don't you cry
Everything's gonna be alright
Stiffen that upper-lip up, little lady, I told ya
Daddy's here to hold ya through the night
I know mommy's not here right now, and we don't know why
We fear how we feel inside
It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
But I promise, momma's gon' be alright
And if you ask me too
Daddy's gonna buy you a Mockingbird
I'ma give you the world
I'ma buy a diamond ring for you, I'ma sing for you
I'll do anything for you to see you smile
And if that Mockingbird don't sing, and that ring don't shine
I'ma break that birdies neck
I'd go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya
And make him eat every karat, don't fuck with dad (haha)
Congrats all that lyrics your our next song writer 😅😅 made my night
Eminem is an amazing father. That's words from a person who never had a dad like eminem.
This is not a song it's a story which always make us cry❤
This song hits way harder than i thought i cried over it. I will learn it by heart
This song used to make me really mad because it was all I ever wanted as a kid but now I listen to it and it just makes me happy because I realize that there are good people out there my dad was present in my life but he was never really there and I remember every single night I would listen to this song and now every time I hear it tears come to my eyes
I cried all throughout the song. You’re a legend Eminem 🫰🏻
Emeinem is a real raper he tells us about his life you can feel the pain in his voice and then he raps about the robbing and sadness i know somone else out there feels his pain and knows what he's going through and what has happened 💔
This song just literally makes me bawl
